DUST-ARRESTER FOR 'BADIA'I'ORS.

I Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 5, 191-2.

Application filed June 21, 1911. Serial No. 634,635.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, ALBERT J. FANDREY, a citizen of the Empire of Germany, subject of Emperor William II, and resident of Indianapolis, county of Marion, and State of Indiana, have invented a certain useful Dust Arrester for Radiators; and I do hereby de clare that the following is a full, clear, and

exact description thereof, reference being strainer or dust collector restingthereon .of

such a fabric as will permit the passage of air through it and of such a shape as may be easily replaced when soiled.

The nature of the invention will be understood from the accompanying drawings and the following description and claim.

In the drawings Figure 1 is an end elevation of a radiator with the device installed thereon. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the device removed from the radiator. .Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse section on theline 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a vertical longitudinal section on the lined-4 of Fig. 3,-- Fig. 5 is y a perspective view of the supporting frame with the cover removed.

.torwhere it maybe supported An extension 13 from one side projects below the main frame a distance substantially the depth of the frame and in use isbent rearwardly sufiicient that the extension will touch thewal'l behind the. radiator, as shown in Fig. 1. The hooks 12 mentioned are also formed of wire doubled and bent into a. .V- shape, the loo ed end of the wire forming the point. of t e hook and the ends of the wire bent around the lower end wire 14 in such a manner that the hooks may turn about said wire and have the bent portion of the hooks extending downward and inwardly Whensaid hooks are thrown against the inner end of the frame.

Before the frame 10 is placed on theradiator a fabric covering 15 is placed upon it.

Said covering is of scrim or other goods, preferably cotton, of a fairly open-weave and closely fits the frame and has a fiap-like portion which covers the extension 13 of the frame. Thus it will-be seen that when installed on a radiator all the air heat-ed by the radiator in rising from the top of the radiator must pass through said fabric and leaves its dust on the fabric.

While the drawings illustrate a. dust collector which is rectangular in construction, it is not desiredto limit my invention to this particular construction as it may be made with a semi-cylindrical top or, in fact, anydesired shape to fit a radiator top.

I claim as my invention:

A dust collector for a radiator-consisting of wires forming a substantially rectangular skeleton frame with the underside open and adapted to envelop the top of a radiator and with a downwardly and outwardly inclined extension from the lower edge of one side of said frame, a reticulated fabric coveringthe top and sides ofsa'id skeleton frame, and upwardly extending hooks connected with the lower part of; each end of said frame adapted to engage the top of the 'end sections of the radiator for supporting Witnesses: I
